It was a fun Week 9 showdown at Lambeau Field, as the Carolina Panthers defeated the Green Bay Packers . Now, there is some concern, as one of the Panthers' top players did not practice on Wednesday. Coach Dave Canales downplayed the Rico Dowdle injury concern, stating it was not an issue for him, according to Panthers beat writer Sheena Quick.

“Panthers HC Dave Canales says Rico Dowdle is just working through some things from the game, but expects him to practice tomorrow and be available on Sunday vs. Saints,” Quick wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

This indicated that the move to not practice on Wednesday could be precautionary, especially after Dowdle had a heavy workload in Week 9. Dowdle rushed 25 times for 130 yards and two touchdowns while also catching two passes for 11 yards.
